French house has a specific sound: filtered disco samples, heavy sidechain compression, funky basslines, and vocoder effects. Use "French house, filtered disco, funky bass, vocoder, heavy compression, four-on-the-floor, Daft Punk influence, French touch." This is distinct from generic house or EDM — the filtered sample aesthetic is what defines the genre.
Chanson française is a French vocal music tradition emphasizing poetic lyrics and intimate delivery. Think Édith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Serge Gainsbourg. Use "chanson française, intimate vocals, accordion, poetic, romantic, melancholic, vintage French, cabaret." Write poetic French lyrics in Custom Mode. The style prioritizes vocal expression and lyrical depth over production complexity.
French rap (rap français) has its own distinct tradition with North African musical influences, different flow patterns adapted to the French language, and a tendency toward more melodic hooks. Producers often blend trap beats with Mediterranean or Arabic melodic elements. Use "rap français, French hip-hop, Parisian" and write lyrics in French for authentic results.
French pop (variété française or modern French pop) tends to be more melodic, romantic, and slightly melancholic compared to Anglo-American pop. It emphasizes beautiful melody and poetic lyrics. Use "French pop, melodic, romantic, Parisian, polished production" and add "bittersweet" or "melancholic" for that characteristically French emotional depth.
